CURE OF DIPHTHERiA.

Three Principal Remedies TO Be Applied I'm
the Absence OF . Physician.
When q member of the family is at
tackled by this fearful disease. the best
medical aid should st once be called.
The danger is too great to allow this
advice to pass UNDECIDED. Indeed, even
in apparently light cases, that appear to
be progressing to a steady and favora-
BILE termination, the patient often sud-
denly dies, and what are called
the sequence of the disease-its later
effects on the organs and tissues of the
body-frequently result in death. or
protracted disorder and suffering. It
will. therefore, be seen that intelligent
professional treatment il necessary to
prevent il possible, such results. But
in some cases 8 physician may be so
far away as to render his assistance
practically impossible. For such, we
say there are three principal remedies.
The first Is the saturated solution of
chlorate of potash given in teaspoonful
doses every hour. The French ply
sicians rely largely on this. The second
Is chlorine water diluted with from two
to four times as much water. A
prominent physician of Springfield.
Mass. has for the last sixteen years
found It almost uniformly effective.
Prior to its use he lost half his cases.
The third remedy is sulphur. DR..
Field, of England. has obtained re-
markable cures with it, His prescrip-
ton is, we believe, to mix q teaspoon
ful of the -four of sulphur in q
wine-glass of water. and give it az q
gargle- IL the patient is unable to
gsrgle, blow some of the dry -four
through quill upon the diseased parts
Of the mouth and throat, or burn some
Of the sulphur on live coal. and let the
patient inhale its fumes, or filing the
room with the fumes. let him walk
about and inhale them. The patient
should always be kept warm. the
bowels open, and the system well
nourished with easily digested' food

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sings Her Praises
I'm No Uncertain Strain.
The afternoon tea is almost a neces-
sity in London life. 1t is considered
useful as "a pick me up" and it serves
an admirable purpose in the social sys-
tenn. 1t costs the household hardly
any trouble or expense. 1t brings
people together in the easiest possible
way, for ten minutes or an hour, Just
as their engagements or fancies may
settle it. A cup of tea at the right
moment does for the virtuous reveler
all that Falstaff claims for a good
sherris-sack, or at least the first half of
Its ''twofold operation" ut ascends
me into the brain; dries me there all
the foolish and dull and crudy vapors
which environ il; makes it apprehen-
siye, quick, forgetive, full of nimble,
fiery and delectable shapes, which de-
ivered over TO the voice, the tongue,
which is the birth, becomes excellent

But it must have the right brain

any brain to which it is so congenial
and from which it brings so much
as that of a first-rate London old
lady. came away from the great
city with the feeling that this
most complex product of civilization
was no where else developed to such
perfection. The octogenarian London.
ess has been in society-iet US say the
highest society-all her days. She is as
tough as an old macaw, or she would
not have lasted so long. She has seen
and talked with all the celebrities of
three generations, all the beauties Of
at least half dozen decades. Her wits
have been kept bright by constant use,
and as she is free of speech, it requires
some courage to face her. Yet no body
can be more agreeable, even to young
persons. than one of these precious old
dowagers. A great beauty is almost
certainly thinking how she looks while
one is talking with her; an authoress is
waiting to have one praise her book;
but grand old lady, who loves Lon
don society, who lives in it, who un-
derstands young people and all sorts of
people, with her high-colored recollec-
lions of the past and her grandmother
nal interests in the new generation. is
the best of companions, especially over
q cup of tea just strong enough to stir
mp her talking ganglions.-Olirer Wos-

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Sheep will rid the farm of weeds
and increase its fertility.
Stable manure is the best fertilizer
on earth, says Prof. Chamberlain, OF
Iowa.
Kiln dried corn is best for seed. II
should be dried slowly but the process
should be thorough
Fork over the manure heaps.
Manure can not be too fine or too
thoroughly decomposed.
Scatter some of the finest, richest
and best manure you have on the piece
of ground intended for your onions.
Save all the bones Either whole,
broken, finely ground or dissolved.
they are valuable fertilizers in the soil.
Fruit growers are gradually be-
coming convinced that it is not ovee
production so much as fruit of poor
quality that tends to reduce prices.
Prof. /. P. Roberts favors 8 free
use of cotton-seed meal for cows, on
account of its being good milk-pro-
ducing food and the fertilizing proper
ties it leaves when fed.
"A Kansas farmer is feeding some
steers of 1885 that have never had any
other grain than wheat-bran. He
thinks it worth more for cattle than an
equal weight of corn-meal.

Good Suet Pudding: Chop finely

According to the agricultural re-
porter of the Australasian, difference
of fifteen to seventeen bushels an acre
in the yield of wheat can be claimed to
the credit of irrigation in some parts
of Victoria, splendid crops beside the
Murray having been grown on irrigated
lands, whereas there was quite afailurs
in the same district where irrigation
had not been carried out. Grssshopers
and locusts have done q great deal of
damage to the Victorian crops during
the past season.

Jesse James is supposed to be dead,
if not damned, yet his spirit is still
able to hold the fort in Texas at least,
and is even somewhat improved in
methods, although only about 81. 900

Missouri Pacific. The Improvement
mentioned, is the statement by the rob.
bers that they were "not after Uncle

moral sense at least.

The element which persists in such
outrages as the one at Chillicothe,
Mo-, despite of the fate of the ''bald
knobbers" in Christian county, must
be eaectuslly crushed, before Mis-
souri, can hope to rank with other
states of far less area and natural re-
sources. 1t may seem an excellen,
thing for the people to believe that
sooner or later, the lawless outrages
spoken of, will be thing of the past,
but when it is considered that every
delay enriches some other state, il
would seem to be necessary to at once
put the screws on.

As was to be expected, the builders
of Chicago have formed into an alli-

encroachments of the unions, and
eventually this feeling will spread.
The builders represent fifty thousand
working men, and it can well be real
lied what momentous step they have
taken and what possibilities of results
is horoscoped. For the past two
years, the unions have, in a measure,

grievance has been the trivial one of
whether the pay day should be on
Saturday or Monday, and the whole
spirit of the strike has appeared an
archistic in more or less degree. The
Knights of Labor are especially pro-
nounced in their anathema of the
new move on the part of the builders,
and yet common sense would seem to
point to no other redress or protec-
ton. It is, indeed, q poor rule that
will not work both ways, and since
employees, under the gulse of unions,
have forced employers to organize,
they should accept the alternative and
enter no complaint.
